Our top Wilmington rental booking tips:

Getting the best value:

• In the Southport area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Southport area. To get the best value, change your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Southport visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Arts and Antiques flat - sleeps 4! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before booking your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Southport attraction you love, search for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
